Abstract

Here we discuss the lectotypification of two names in Micrargeria viz. M. barteri Skan and M. wightii Bentham using the specimens housed at K and two names in Striga viz. S. junodii Schinz and S. welwitschii Engler using the specimens housed at Z and BM respectively. Detailed notes are provided.
